RIP Bitcoin

chartists are looking to see if btc closes below 7611 today. if it does, it'll be the official end to the long term btc bull run (according to charts).

btc hasn't traded below the 50-week MA since Oct 2015:

​
With the bears already on the offensive following the recent sell-off, prices are likely to suffer if bitcoin closes on Sunday below the key support, currently seen at $7,611.

More worryingly for the bulls, since the cryptocurrency has not traded below the 50-week MA since October 2015, acceptance below that level would only add credence to the argument that the long-term bull run has ended.

As seen on the chart above, the long-term moving average had acted as a strong support in the first quarter. BTC found strong bids in mid April following the repeated failure (marked by a circle) on the part of the bears to penetrate the 50-week MA.

Subsequently, the rally from the 50-week MA to $9,990 (May 5 high) reinforced the moving average as a strong long-term support. Hence, a downside break would raise the odds of a slide to fresh 2017 lows below $6,000.

it will make sense when it reaches back below 100

Could you add the moving average on your graphs? It might help some here.

next stop for btc is 6,800 and then a retest of strong support at 6400?

On the daily chart, the 5-day and 10-day MAs are trending south, indicating a short-term bearish setup. A series of lower highs and lower lows also indicates the bears are in control.

The 50-candle, 100-candle, and 200-candle moving averages (MAs) are aligned in favor of a further drop in prices.

• BTC looks set to test the psychological support of $7,000. Acceptance below that level would expose the April 1 low of $6,425.
• An unexpected close today (as per UTC) above $7,425 (doji candle high) would confirm a short-term bullish doji reversal and allow a minor corrective rally, possibly to $7,800–$8,000.

i don't do my own technical analysis.

just read others and look at support/resistance lines when doing a day trade.

Currencies Direct has today announced a successful trial of Ripple’s xRapid platform. This is one of the first successful trials of a digital asset by a mainstream financial services organisation. It marks a departure from the speculative trading of cryptocurrencies that has dominated the marketplace thus far and a shift towards the intended purpose of digital assets – as a means of value transfer. The trial saw Currencies Direct conduct a number of transfers between pre-screened organisations in seconds, compared to the 3 to 5 day period that transfers currently take. The trial has served as a technological proof of concept for XRP as a means of value transfer, achieving superior speed of payment and end-to-end transparency, compared to traditional means of payment. Brian Harris, Chief Product Officer at Currencies Direct, said of the move “our trial with XRP was a resounding success. We’re currently assessing our next steps, but the evidence we’ve gathered indicates that the use of XRP is a game changer, making payments near-immediate and significantly improving service to our customers.”
“Our goal is to offer the best possible service. We believe that utilising cryptocurrencies in this way – as a transfer of value, rather than as a store of value – is the next logical step for our industry. It is, after all, the intended purpose of cryptocurrencies and we’re proud to be leveraging new technology to deliver the most convenient and seamless experience for our customers.”

It's not Christmas yet bud. :)

a minor corrective rally, luigi.

;-)

looks like some whales jumped in a bought up a lot of the btc on the market, sending the price spiking up.

apparently, the bulls need to defend the $6,900 level with all their might or say hello to prices not seen since 2017:

• BTC will likely drop to $6,900 (triangle support). This is the last line of defense for the bulls. A daily close (as per UTC) below $6,900 would open the doors to $5,400 (November 2017 low).

^ There's definitely scope to either make 40k by selling one now and buying it back when it hits 200k.

Or 60k by buying one now and selling it when it hits 300k.



Maybe do both.

Sell one now to buy back at 200k and buy one now to sell at 300k. :)




Done, just bought one then sold one, easy 100k.








Who will that catch? :)

Were you following the rules of the smothered LED luminescent ?

I'm confused, is it that easy to pick up the odd 100k, can we do it more than once, how much do you charge for private consultations, how much does your therapist charge?

if you're buying and selling (at the same price), you're hedging.

;-)

though, that's what the pros do, apparently,

when not sure if a major support level is going to be broken (or not).

Above 250k looks a buying opportunity. If it gets there. :)

i'm looking to buy (day trade) if the support holds around 6,400 (will likely test it the next few days, i'm guessing).

otherwise, will wait until btc consolidates around 4-5,000.

not really.

or at least not since february when it hit 6,800.

if it breaks below 6,000 and 5,000, then yep some of those guys "hodling for the lambo" might throw in the towel and it will drop to maybe $2,000?

----------

some research studies on a fair value of btc have put it at about $2,000, anyways.

posted this link to a study a few months ago and it's findings have proved accurate (so far): sideways to downward movement for the rest of the year: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.05663.pdf

How can something with no intrinsic value have a fair value of more than zero?

BTC has been compared to the Dutch tulip bubble. You can eat tulip bulbs, which means they have more value than bitcoin.

take a look at the link. that's what it investigates.

it uses various calculations such as metcalfe's law:

"Metcalfe's Law is related to the fact that the number of unique connections in a network of a number of nodes (n) can be expressed mathematically as the triangular number n(n − 1)/2, which is proportional to n2 asymptotically (that is, an element of Θ(n2))."

a calculation is not intrinsic value FFS, even a retard like a plumber could get that :)

They've more value than gold then.


Unless you've got very hard teeth. :)


I suppose that coins can be used for playing heads or tails.

And paper notes could be used as tissues.


So yeah, guess your point holds strong. :)

a piece of paper with a quadratic formula should have intrinsic value if I were to follow your silly logic :)

Etherum has some potential because it can "embedded" financial contract terms and netting formulas, but only as a supporting tool
